Finally got inspiration for the next chapter. super sorry to all my readers, but I will soon graduate grade 12, so I should be able to do more over the summer. if anyone has ideas, suggestions or tips for things you want to see, or mistakes to point out, that would be hugely appreciated.
I made up some of their last names, as they're not specified in canon, I will also be using the A, B, AB, O blood types, instead of X, F, XF, S from one piece. It does give a comparison in the wiki, A=X, B=F, AB=XF, O-S.
The next morning, the Straw-hats were all woken by Will, who took them down to the medbay. "Ratchet wants to give you all a check up, to see if the portal had any negative effects. No offence to you of course, Chopper; as a doctor I'm sure you understand his caution." Will told them as they walked.
"It's fine." Chopper replied. He knew he would have done the same, after all, Ratchet had no idea of his level of ability.
They finally arrived at medbay, having garnered quite a few odd looks from passing soldiers. Ratchet was waiting for them inside. "Hmph, about time you got here, I was beginning to wonder if you were going to show up. Now, I was told you have a medic among you?"
Chopper stepped forward shyly "That would be me, my name's Tony-Tony Chopper. I'm the doctor."
Ratchet nodded curtly "Alright, you come with me then. The rest of you wait here, and don't TOUCH anything!" he snapped at Luffy, who was wandering toward one of the tool shelves.
"Awww" Luffy pouted "But this stuff is so cool!" He got down anyway, he could tell he wasn't going to get a closer look. At least, not while the med-guy was watching.
Ratchet brought Chopper over to the computer terminal. "Right, let's start. First, what are all of your full names and ages?" he opened several new files.
Chopper nodded, shyness gone now that he was in his element. "Right, from oldest to youngest: Brook Ongaku-88, Franky Kinzoku-34, Robin Nico-28, Sanji Kemuri-19, Zoro Roronoa-19, Nami Mikan-18, Usopp Syrup-17, Luffy D. Monkey-17, Chopper Tony-Tony-15."
Ratchet entered the profile data as Chopper gave it "Alright, Blood types, and any allergies?"
"Nami and I are A. Luffy is B. Zoro and Franky are AB. Usopp, Sanji, and Robin are O, but Sanji is RH-, so he can't have a transfusion from them. None of us are allergic to anything, as far as I know."
"Fine, last question for now, have any of you had any serious injuries, that require continuing treatment?" Ratchet asked.
Chopper flinched. "I think it would be better if you went over that with each of them. All of them have had really bad injuries at least once. I treated them as best I could, but I wasn't always there. I was the 6th to join the crew, and three of them needed emergency treatment when they reached me." Chopper told himself there was nothing more he could have done, that he gave the best treatment he was able to when he could, but it was still hard. Especially when he looked at the terrible scars Luffy and Zoro had.
Ratchet nodded, understanding. "Alright, then. I'll do individual profiles next. May as well start with you." Ratchet went over things such as past illness and injuries, then he finally asked what he had been wondering for a while "Now, I believe I remember hearing mention of some kind of 'Devil fruit?' Could you tell me what this is about?"
Chopper shrugged "I can tell you the basics, and about mine, but each one is different, so you'll need to ask the others for a better idea of theirs."
Ratchet nodded "That's fine."
"Well, every devil fruit is different, but they have things in common. For one thing, anyone who eats one loses the ability to swim. If they fall in the sea, they lose their abilities and become unable to move. They taste really terrible, they are covered in a kind of swirl pattern, and they reappear somewhere in the world when the person who ate them dies. Oh, and you can't eat more than one, if you do it will kill you. There are 3 categories. The first, Logia are elementals, your body actually becomes made of something else, smoke, fire, ice, light and so on. We thought Luffy was a Logia at first, as his body is made of rubber, but it turns out he stretches like rubber. That makes his Paramecia. The second type is the most common, it's the Paramecia type. These are the most varied, they give the user some kind of power or ability. The final type is called Zoan. These ones let you change into a different animal. My devil fruit is a Zoan type. I was originally a normal reindeer, with a blue nose, until I ate the Human-Human fruit. Now I can do anything a human can. Zoan types normally have three different forms: original, animal, and hybrid."
Ratchet added the info to a new file "What do you mean by they 'normally' have three forms? How exactly does your devil fruit work?"
Chopper reached into his bag, pulling out a large pill "My fruit lets me change between the usual three forms. Human... Hybrid... And reindeer." as he spoke, Chopper shifted between his forms, as Ratchet watched with interest.
Turning back into his usual hybrid form, Chopper held the pill up "In addition to that, I studied my abilities and came up with a medicine that can distort the transformations, allowing me to take a total of seven different forms." He shifted through his other forms "I've trained a lot, so now I don't even need to take the pill to transform."
After getting permission, Ratchet carefully scanned both Chopper and then the pill. "Thank you, I believe you have been very helpful in improving my understanding of this odd phenomenon. You can go back to your crew, please send the next person when you go."
Chopper nodded happily "Sure, I'll send Zoro in next, before he gets bored and tries to leave." He climbed down to the ground, using the ladder installed on the large table.
